One8 Commune

What One8 Commune does

One8 Commune is an Indian all-day dining "restro-bar" chain operated by FOURLEAF CAFE & RESTAURATIONS PRIVATE LIMITED, headquartered in Mumbai. The brand operates across 10+ Indian cities including Mumbai, New Delhi, Pune, Kolkata, Indore, Gurgaon, Jaipur, Goa, and Ludhiana, offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, and beverages under a "Commune Sensibility" theme that emphasizes togetherness. The chain is co-branded with cricketer Virat Kohli, whose signature "Virat's Favourite" menu of fitness-oriented dishes serves as a key marketing differentiator.

The company employs an asset-light, dual-channel operating model combining direct restaurant operations with franchise/licensed operator partnerships. Franchisees such as Trio Hills Hospitality operate individual outlets under licensing arrangements, enabling rapid multi-city expansion. The chain grew to 15 outlets in India by April 2025 but suffered a significant setback in April 2026 when the Bengaluru outlet was court-ordered shut after the franchisee defaulted on rent, maintenance, and revenue share exceeding Rs 2 crore, and Virat Kohli withdrew his celebrity brand association from that location due to fire safety and compliance violations. Marketing relies on celebrity endorsement, social media presence, press coverage, and an online table booking system; the company has no disclosed funding rounds, no proprietary technology platform, and operates with 11-50 corporate employees.
